The Decemberists – The Bachelor And The Bride (Guitar)

Em                 A
There's a wrinkle,   in the water

D                 Cmaj7
Where we laid our,     first daughter

Em                        A           Cmaj7        B7
And I think the wind blows so sweetly there, over there

Em              A
And the windows, and the cinders

D              Cmaj7
And the willows, in the timbers

Em              A            Cmaj7        B7
The infernal rattling of the rain, still remains

    Em          B               Em
But I, said the bachelor to the bride

       B           C
Am not waiting for tonight,

    G         A
No, I, I will box your ears

    B7                      A
And leave you here stripped bare

Em  A  D  Cmaj7
     Stripped bare...

Em                  A
Hear the corncrakes, and the deerhooves

D                Cmaj7
And the sleet rain on the slate roof

Em               A            Cmaj7         B7
A medallion locked inside her hands, in her hands

Em             A
And his fingers, are they telling

D          Cmaj7
Of the barren of her belly

Em                  A            Cmaj7      B7
Do his calluses cure her furrowed brow, even now

    Em          B               Em
But I, said the bachelor to the bride

        B            C
Am not waiting for tonight,

   G         A
No I, I will box your ears

    B7                      A
And leave you here stripped bare,

Em  A  D  Cmaj7  Em  A  D  Cmaj7
   Stripped bare, stripped bare, stripped bare all in all

    Em          B               Em
But I, said the bachelor to the bride

       B           C
Am not waiting for tonight,

   B7       Em
No I, I will box your ears

    C
And take your tears

    B7                                  A
And leave you, leave you here, stripped bare
